Need help for avenue q puppets replicas

[jcnegron]

Darkranth . About the eyes. I have been thinking about using "Sculpey super flex","Sculpey eraser clay" or "fimo soft" for puppets eyes. I am thinking of making a flat tortilla or patty with one bar and use an ice cream scoop, a soup scoop or a bowl as a mold, pressing the dough from the inside to make it round, cut it with a glass and bake it. I haven´t try it, but I think could be used to make other unusual shapes too.

I don't have much time (it's late!) but I posted a pick of nicky. I will post more soon! http://s280.photobucket.com/albums/kk162/Darkranth/

wow! it's extremely good. How did you do the nose? Are you going to put the beard? Good work.

 

[darkranth]

Thank you! For the nose I just took two pieces of fleece and sew them together and I put a styrofoam ball in it. But all the face is only temporary. It's not the material it's use to be. For the beard I tried to make a line in my sewing but can't barely see it. I tought I could sew an other piece of fleece on it.

he really doesn't have a full on beard, it's more like a five o' clock shadow

OMG! Last friday I did my first performance with nicky. I sang "if you were gay" in french... That was AWESOME! Everybody liked it, I received really good comments, I just can't wait to do it again!
Be careful Quebec! Avenue Q is coming! Yeaaah!

Congratulations, Darkranth. Hey.. did you translated the lyrics? have you heard those on the upcoming Paris version? By the way tell me how they sound to you:http://www.myspace.com/avenueqfr I mean soundwise they are great but how does the adaptation sound to you?

It's hard to tell if the adaptation is good because, there is a BIG difference between french from France and french from Quebec. We don't have same expressions, not the same accent (not at all!) and some words don't have the same meaning. I don't really like the Paris version but it's because I'm from quebec, otherwise it's probably very good.

And yes I translated the lyrics but I started on the paris translation.

A great thing about french from quebec is that we use a lot of english word. So for the: I like you anyway , in the paris version the meaning changes in translation it sounds more like: You can be sure that it won't change anything (je peux t'assurer, que ça va rien changer) but in my translation it's the same (je t'aimerais anyway)

I want to hug that Trekkie. The show is going to be awsome. I hope someone could take some video of the performance.
